Don't underestimate stupidity, we have a drug dealer in Dublin turn up at the station to report his gear taken. It was the Gardai who cleared it in a raid.

Now that, is a special kind of stupid. I hope he was arrested on the spot

Now, in fairness, he reported a break-in at his house. He didn't mention the 'gear'.

You have obviously audited him so we'll take your word for it.

Or you could read up on how victim surcharge works if you like?

Apparently Chris previously killed someone in a crash but has obviously managed to recover from that trauma.

Wasn't wearing his seatbelt either :rolleyes:

What you make of this one? for me the police were completely at fault. Pretty petty to turn around and follow

Surprised he didn't get done for impersonating an officer as well, I would have thought the Met would be unimpressed with that.

Cop is completely in the wrong, but I bet he believes he wasn't.

Maybe he's the C.E.O. of some company.

Fair play to yer man for standing up to the copper. Ridiculous to suggest that the cyclist was accelerating in the second or two that he was in view.

So he killed a man previously while driving, and still hasn't learnt the basics of complying with traffic law. There's something wrong here.

Mc Love

too many knocks to the head I'd imagine

Just looking at his reg I kinda wish we had personalised plates in Ireland, I wouldn't begrudge someone driving a nice car but it would make it easier to sport the dickheads

Cycling Mikey is not very funny really, Dom Jolly is way better

At least in Chris's case the personalised plate is on a Bentley- He clearly has money to burn. Always amazes me when I'm in London how many people have splashed cash on a personalised plate to slap on a dingy looking BMW 320d turboclacker.

Looks like a roller to me

I'm guessing we don't have this in Ireland, where videos can be sent to the Garda and the offenders get points/fined.

If we could do that, would you report people? I don't mean hiding in the bushes the way he does, but if you could send a video into the Gardai when you saw someone on the phone, would you?

It can be done here, and is being done here.

You need to submit video on USB stick here.

Why are posts being deleted?

magicbastarder

a post which called for GBH on someone was deleted, so further responses to that were also deleted.

Seve OB

Hmmm to be fair I don’t think anyone was calling for GBH.

I think what was said was that some day the lad is going to cross the wrong person and will suffer the consequences.

Honestly I don't see the issue with Mikey,

Some people waste their lives watching tv or gettin drunk in the pub, if he wants to catch people doing illegal/dangerous stuff then so be it. If it saves a few lives by getting people to stop driving on wrong side of the road or to stop driving with mobiles then its all good.

One thing thats evident from the videos and from my own personal experience....many motorist see no wrong in the outright dangerous and illegal things they do. It's important they come to realise that people can and will report them for these things.

AndrewJRenko

One for those who tell us about how Mikey is bound to get murdered by an affronted aggressive driver one day - this is what we're up against;

TBF, I spent my lockdown and a bit of time since targetting KOMs on Strava. This is infinitely more useful to society, so long as he isn't hurting anyone, let him at it.

I cant conclusively say he is of benefit. Maybe if he reported without the backchat, but his ego really gets in the way sometimes.

What does his ego get in the way of ? Not his reporting or police or court actions, given that he has over 1,000 penalty points issued to his name.
